When you are 22000 miles up in the air, the only thing stopping you from falling is the fact that you are orbiting. If you de-orbit, you better be prepared to deal with the energy generated by a 22000 mile fall.
Well, if the enforcement is well-funded and supported by member nation's police, I think this would solve THE major problem with any of the currently proposed spam solutions. No longer would you be able to hide in a remote nationa and fight extradition. Even non-member nations would have to bend before the power of the United Nations.
Really, the only personal detail you have to have to give them out is your e-mail address, and that doesn't even have to be your real one. Just get a throwaway hotmail account, and make up the rest of the data. Is that so much trouble?
I can't believe that no one has mentioned the books by Larry Niven. I forget which one, exactly, but somewhere he describes armor almost exactly like this. It's soft and flexible, until you hit it, and it becomes very hard.
You could probably get away with a battery and a warning light on the inside, for when the battery gets low. It would be very efficient, since you dont have to turn anything on until a key goes into the lock.
You know, the great thing about robots doing genetic type engineering experiments, is that now one major flaw in genetic engineering stuff is fixed. You never have to worry about modified stuff escaping. If at any point there is a problem, just activate the lab's self-destruct (Your lab does have a self-destruct, doesn't it?) You dont even have to worry about the scientists escaping. (Then again, that wasn't much of a worry for me in old labs either)
Yes, but even better than putting your enemy out of business and then LEAVING, would be... wait for it... putting the competition out of business and RAISING YOUR PRICES! Wow... imagine that...
Because we trust mozilla or opera not to patent this and then refuse to share it with anyone. Microsoft, on the other hand, would probably patent this and refuse to let anyone else use it.
I think a better analogy would be if you were at home, and someone came to your house, knocked on the door, and said "Hi, I'm Joe. Can i have your T.V.?"
and you give it to them.
Don't bother doing the return to sender bit. The CDs are sent 4th class bulk mail - if the post ofice sees one being returned, it goes straight to the trash.
This is very neat. A good way to get rid of all that cow pollution. But when they say they reduce the methane production, aren't they just converting it to CO2(this assumes i am right to this they are burning it in the generator). Also, why stop with only cow manure? There are 6 billion people on this planet, which must translate into a goodly amountof methane. And cows produce methane directly, too. Don't forget that.
I think this is a great article and all, and it raises some neat issues (maybe the catastrophe that killed the dinosaurs was a meteor storm, not just one meteor, or something), but no where in the article did it say WHY it looked like something from one of Jupiter's moons. Does anyone know why this is?
OMG!! the world is ending!
Seriously, Whgen i read this, I didn't beleive it...can the different vendors unite? i doubt they'll ever agree what features and things to include in this one distro...watch it turn into a flame war!
Actually, they'd be castrating themselves by declaring they had jurisdiction. That is because the law works both ways. As a previous poster mentioned, if russian companies are under our jurisdiction, surely we are under the jurisdiction of the russian, bulgarian, british, chinese, and whoever the hell else wants it's jurisdiction. So the clear solution is that no one has jurisdiction. Otherwise, the internet goes all to hell! (again)
First, isn't it just easier to use an electric heater to melt ice?
Also, when the H20 and O2 ignite, wont the explosion send shards of ice flying? I would imagine that a shattered plate of ice would act similar to glass, and be jus as dangerous...unless i'm being stupid and the ice all melts

Does this mean that if I use the 2 together, i get a 99.99999728% accuracy? Awesome! THat means it would takes months for me to see a single error!
Everyonme sets their own definition of what they think is spam. No matter what, in the end, the human CANT be wrong... right?
Just cover your paper in tin-foil!

Yu know what's sad? I'm so used to grammar mistakes in posts, I didn't even notice that, even after I read you post and went back and rechecked it!
Stupid me, forgot to say get the install here (full install) or here (update only) or here There are other links here

It's always harder to protect yourself from the people who acually can or want to hurt you, isn't it?
Hate to break it to you, but Florida is the sunshine state

I prefer to cuss out the incompetent support people.
